of my AHH. It barely fit (no fender). I did not try the rear, but I think
it's possible it would have fit.

Thanks Ron for the discount code. I have been riding in cold weather now for 25
years. I have lived most of that time in the mountains, but now live in Bend
Oregon. I have not been payin' attention to the newest and coolest technical
fabrics. I appreciate your advice on the wool.
On Sunday,
Really? I would like to hear more about that.
I sometimes have terrible knee pain in my left knee but have always chalked
it up to the fact I sprained it 15 years ago and it just flares up. If I
can find a natural, non-doctor/drug way of alleviating the pain, I would
love to.
On Sunday
In my personal experience and that of many others eliminating grains,
veggie oils, and processed foods eliminated issues of inflammation. Helped
a lot of others as well. Also, in my experience, eliminating those from my
diet greatly decreased my need for constant water.

Sierra Trading Post is a great place to shop indeed. As I do not wear wool,

Threadless stems (11 and 13cm) now $30 each.

A few thoughts:
Youth has no inherent aversion to endurance events, as youth is thriving in
ultrarunning events, though it is true that developing the aerobic system

being not to go over 180-age beats per minute per Phi
I think most of the younger endurance racers are into off-road rides. The
avg. age of riders on events like the Tour Divide is in the early 30's.
Gravel racing is another area where younger riders have found their
calling. Long pavement rides just seem more monotonous compared to the

Standing is no problem; no knee pain no matter what the gear or slope. But

I don't arch pedal, but rear forefoot and outer midfoot pedal, if that

funny is that it's so true! My Android phone totally runs hot. Now my

it truly was a great ride.
